The lead story in the January 25 edition of The Buffalo News takes a deep dive into the state of the Greater Buffalo startup community as it reflects on that ecosystem's 10th anniversary. Colligan Managing Partner Matthew Pelkey shares his experience and opinions among the many thought leaders included in the piece. He advises readers of the importance of long-term investments and related commitments from elected officials and exiting founders, whose reinvestment will add the momentum and mass needed to accelerate our startup community's growth.
“Then you are talking more significant impact that can take us decades in sustainable growth,” Pelkey said. “That’s what everyone wants to see, and I think it is possible.”
